Thank you so much for these.

It helps to be able to show the books up on the projector screen instead of just holding up a little picture book and listening to everyone go, "I can't see~~~!!!"  :P

The available story-books are amazing but what do you do with them?  I've done these things with the storybooks.  But is there more?

1)  Chain reading (each stu reads a sentence or page)
2)  Role-playing: stu take various characters & add gestures/voice control
3)  Launching pad for a lesson (grammar point, vocabulary, expressions)

What other lessons have you done?  Do you care to share>

I can't get myself to download these.  I don't see how it isn't piracy...I want these all so bad too.  If the moderator can help out, that would be great. :cry:

Check your school/English class library, wherever the English books are. I have most of these already in print form, so I felt fine about downloading these copies. If you work at a public school, I guarantee you already have most, if not all of the Eric Carle books!

Here you are. Find out when they were published and you'll know. This is how long copyright lasts.

life of the author plus 70 years
works of corporate authorship to 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever is earlier.
For books published prior to January 1, 1978, 95 years from their publication date

Well, copyright is renewable. Gone With the Wind is still under copyright due to the influence of the Mitchell estate.

Margaret Mitchell died in 1949.  Her work is still protected because 1936 plus 95 years is 2031.

Just FYI, copyright is not renewable. Beast got it exactly right.

Doesn't it depend on the country though? In the USA it is 95 years, but that could always change again if corporations (like Disney) lobby hard enough to lengthen copyright.

In any event, I don't think any of these posted materials are in the public domain. It's all just Waygook supported piracy.

This is a good point. I should have said in my earlier comment that what I said was American Copyright law. However, I would also add that if a country has a copyright treaty with the US. Then it is American copyright law even though it’s not America. The U.S. has copyright treaties with a lot of countries, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Here, I'd like to point out that I am not American. I am European and I have not studied American Law in detail. I studied business and one of my subjects was about law and specifically intellectual property. This is how I am aware of the law around copyrights but I am open to correction. I am by no means an expert.

Not exactly.  The US and Korea are both signatories of the Berne Convention, which means that both agree to uphold copyright of foreign works published in a country only to the same extent as their own law requires. 

A bit googling ( http://www.moleg.go.kr/english/korLawEng?pstSeq=52683&pageIndex=23 ) shows that Korea's copyright duration, under Article 39, is lifetime of the author plus fifty years. 

So, I guess this means Gone with the Wind is still protected in the US, but not in Korea.
